10/19/2022 - Arizona Easton Fall Classic - Under Class (2025-2026) Markus is an athletic OF/3B prospect out of Watertown, SD who showcased his skills during the Arizona Easton Fall Classic. In the field, Markus shows smooth footwork with a quick first step. He gets into position on time and fields the ball out in front with a relaxed glove. His exchange is clean and he gains ground well on his throws, keeping them accurate with carry through his target. At the plate, this RHH sets up in a square stance and takes a short stride. He is controlled getting his hands activated in his load and hits against a strong front side. He works through a level swing and sprays the ball to all fields. Overall, Markus is a solid prospect who has the potential to further build upon his skills on the field.

Accurate/on-line throws, with good carry, and an arm velocity of 77 mph. On the mound, there is a lot room for improvement. Fastball was 63-65 mph and his best pitch on the day was his change up.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
